Ire Georgia Imfirnary.

The movement to enlarge and improve
the Georgia Infrmary, and make it first
class hospital, is good one The ladies
who are directing it are entitled TO hearty
encouragement and generous support. The
Infirmary is the only institution in the city
to which colored people who are suffering
from diseases of any kind, or from injuries,
and who cannot be treated properly at
home, can be sent. As they comprise a very
large portion Of the population of the city,
and as there are comparatively few of them
who are 50 situated that they can have the
care and medical attention they ought to
have when sick, the hospital set apart for
them should not only be well equipped with
everything needed in an institution of that
kind but should be made so attractive that
they would have no objection to going there
1t seems that many of them have strong
prejudice against the place now. That is
due, doubtless, to feeling that they will
not be as well cared for there as at their
homes although their homes may be pro-
vided with scarcely any of the accomnloda-
tions that are needed by sick people.
OF course considerable money will be re-
ladies have in view, but it is probable that
their appeals for aid will be responded to
promptly and generously. The people of
Savannah have never been slow to respond
to the calls of charity. When the colored
people lost their homes in the Yamacraw
fire several thousand dollars were quickly
raised for them. Indeed, more was con-
tributed than was really needed.
The colored people themselves might do
something for the hospital As they are the
ones vino are TO be benefited they ought to
be willing to contribute something towards
it. They spend many thousands of dollars
in the course of a year for quack medicines
of one sort and another. They could not do
a wiser thing than help build up an institu-
ton where they can receive proper medical
treatment when they need it.
There are excellent hospitals in the city
for white people and there should be at least
one good one for colored people. The ladies
who have the matter in charge are
thoroughly in earnest, and if there efforts
meet with the recognition they have right
to expect the Infirmary will become an
honor to the city.

Legation eloods on a Tear.
From Washington Letter to the Baltimore
4nleT-ic0u


The escapades of the young scions of the for,
eign Legations here would form interesting and
readable chapters if written out as related about
them. There is one thing that can be said TO
the credit of these young bloods, and that Is
they don't ever charge their little nlisdoings to
malaria, as many of the statesmen do. They
frankly admit that Washington beer and whisky
get the better of them. and causes their blood TO
get liveer than their own native drinks would
do. Washington people have got used TO the
pranks of the youngsters and let them 90 ahead
unmolested, unless they should come across
some hard-fsted American who gets upon his
ear at some affront and tie boys get tum-
bic. The boys, however, take the tumble with
out a murmur, and should they show up a
black eye, post or an accident answers as
blind TO stop the girls from. being oTer-in-
qusitive as to the cause. About
o'clock this morning a number OF the
young men connected with the Portuguese and
British legations felt like they ought TO
do something funny, very funny, that they
might talk about to the boys you know.
Young Nogueiras and mis- British friend per
suaded night-liner to rent out his hack at that
hour of the morning to them for a little fun.
The conditions were that the 'Jehu'' was to sit
in state in the hack and Nogueiras and his
friends were to mount the horses, while the
third man of the legation party was to occupy
the drivers box. 1t took some talk to get the
''cabbe' to consent, and it was only after a
guarantee was made that all damage to horse
flesh and the hack would be paid for The party
took their positions, and with q war WhoOp the
equipage started from Seventh street and Penn
Sylvania avenue down Pennsylvania and return,
then down Seventh street. and in the aristo-
cratic part of the city. Policemen stopped them,
but they could do nothing with the frolicsome
youths; they were legation men, you know,
and they wanted to have fun, and they did have
it; but the risks they ran startled many sober
sided people who saw them. The ''cabbie' en-
joyed the fun, as he impersonated royalty
and got well paid for it.

A Military Dancing School.
From st. Nicholas for June.

From st. Nicholas for June.
One of the morning duties at West Point is
the dancing lesson Each class has an hour a
day allotted to it. The dancing master calls
dance, the pianist strikes up a lively tune and
the cadets revolve and gyrate in couples about
the room. They can hardly fail to become good
dancers when all enter into the spirit of it with
so much heartiness. The dancing master is the
jolliest of short, fat Frenchmen.
Attention, cavaliers he calls. ''In re waltz
re right foot es advance, so; zen re left. and re
right brought up, soi Now-5ne, two tree:
one, two tree!n and he sways his body and half
closes his eyes as he chants the numbers, while
the whole roomful of boys moves as he directs
Suddenly he sees a cadet leaning against the
wall, and he darts across the room 20 him.
'Ah, monsieur, Wy do you not dancer"
Cant get the step" is the reply.
"Oh ct is very easy l will get you part
ner." And away he goes to another, who also
has difficulty with the step, and. painting and red
in the face, brings him TO the scene. Now Mees

'Mees' Fisher" bow, and redden at the laughter
around them, and then try again.

Mr.. Garland and the Vacancy.

In the discussion that is going on in the
public prints respecting the candidates for
the vacancy in the Supreme Court at Wash
ington it is noticeable that the prevailing
impression is that Attorney General Gar
land will be the successful one. It is also
noticeable that his appointment would be
very harshly criticised by Democratic as
well as Republican papers.
1t is pretty evident that the President has
not lost confidence in Mr.. Garland on ac-
count of his connection with the Pan-Elec-
trio telephone business. 1t is also evident
that Mr.. Garland wants to be member of
the Supreme Court. The President, under
these circumstances, may determine to APP
point him, although knowing that the APP
pointment would be an unpopular one
1t is said that the Supreme Court Justices
are very much concerned about the selec-
ton of Justice. They not only want an
able man for an associate, but. they want
one who win be in all respects agreeable to
them. Of course they will not be consulted.
If they should be, it is said that they would
not favor Mr.. Garland. This nay,bemipst
to the Attorney General, but it is thesgossip
| of Washington. The Justices have not
shown any hostility to him, but they do not
it seems, have as high an opinion of his
| legal requirements as they had when he was
appointed to his present office. His argu.
ments before the court have not, it is alleged
been of character to sustain the reputation
he had of being great lawyer.
There is no doubt that Mr. Garland would
be confirmed if he were appointed. The
Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, Mr.. Edmunds, is his warm personal
friend, and as the nomination must go tc
that committee for report, there is no rea
son TO doubt that it would be reported ia
vorably. In fact, about all the Senators re
gard the Attorney General with kindly feel
ings, and though some of them may thinl
he was indiscreet in having anything to dc
with the Pan Electric telephone it is doubt
full if any of them believe that he was guilty
of any Intentional wrong doing.

The New Baby.

What strange little man can this be,
So weird and so wizened and wise?
What mystical things has he seen
With those wide-opened wondering eyes?
What treasures untold from what lands
Do his soft baby fingers enfoldy
What word does he bring from afar,
The stranger so young yet 80 old!
Does he bring us some message from spheres
Unheard of, from words we know not
Starry countries we dwell in mayhap,
As babies, and now have forgoty
Who can tell what he knows, what he thinks?
He says not a word but he looks
In minute, more wisdom, I'll swear,
Than Is shut in the biggest Of books.
